  Hi

  When I change a featured image then share the post, the original featured imaged is still presented rather than the alternative I have added.

  Any advice welcome.

  Thanks Stephen

  Hi There,
  It could be possible that after you change your feature image that it isn’t saving. After you change it to a different image, do you click on the update button on the top left? If you don’t, it will change the image, but not save it, so it would display the old one.
  Hope this helps,
  Thanks

  Hi

  Thanks for taking the time to reply. However the image is showing as replaced but when I send the link to the post it is still showing the original featured image.

  It is like it is being cached somewhere.

  I tried on different browsers but the same occurs.

  Hi,
  Yes, it’s true that Facebook and Twitter do keep links in cache. The following article will show you how to clear the Facebook share cache so your new featured image displays:
